As families count down the days until Christmas, many will be planning festive dinners and get-togethers. It’s a busy time of the year, as people travel to be with loved ones and attend parties.

For festive hosts looking to save some time by buying dessert, Iceland might have introduced a new crowd-pleaser. The supermarket is selling a ‘delicious’ dessert that serves eight to ten people, and it’s likely to wow your guests. Available online and in-store, the store is stocking an Iceland Raspberry Trifle Gateau 1000g for £4.75.

The dessert is made from ‘layers of vanilla flavour cream mousse, sponge and raspberry sauce on a shortcrust pastry base, decorated with coloured sugar decorations.’ The description says it is not suitable for vegetarians.

The festive dessert is likely to please families seeking a ‘stress-free’ dessert. Simply remove all packaging and place the dessert on a serving plate. Then, leave it to defrost at room temperature for 6.5 hours before tucking in.

The Iceland Raspberry Trifle Gateau 1000g seriously impressed shoppers online, earning glowing reviews from customers. One reviewer commented: “What can I say. It’s delicious. It’s the perfect combo of two favourite desserts.

Another fan said: “A really delicious dessert, yummy flavours and at a very reasonable price. The whole family loved it!” A different comment read: “Delicious very good size Raspberry’s cream pastry base utterly moorish!!!! Could eat the whole thing Best cake ever 5/5.”

Someone else replied: “Custard… delicious. Cream and sprinkles…. Delicious Raspberry jam…. Sweet but delicious Only thing I was 100% on was the biscuit base but overall a very very nice dessert that all seven of us enjoyed! We even had some left! Amazing price too! Would definitely recommend and will definitely buy again.”

Alternatively, Iceland also sells a £4 Cadbury Winter Edition Dairy Milk Trifle 550g. It’s described as ‘Delicious Layers of Cadbury Winter Trifle.’ Once again, the dessert earned positive feedback from shoppers.

One reviewer praised: “Luxurious creamy and filling. Enjoyed very much feed 6 people. Will definitely buy again.” Another fan wrote: “If you are familiar with the individual Cadbury chocolate pots then what you have here is a bigger version of that product.

“There is a thin layer of ‘cinnamon’ flavoured sponge, but to be honest, I could not detect the cinnamon flavour. It’s then built up with layers of the chocolate pot ‘custard’ and topped off with a good layer of whipped cream. If you like chocolate puddings, then you are sure to like this.”
